I've been asked to help out someone who is slightly vurnerable and is receiving large volumes of spam. She is finding the content or titles a bit upsetting. Not being computer literate, she's probably unaware that it's "nothing personal" and that she is a random target along with hundreds of thousands of others.
I plan to have a chat with her and look at her setup and see if there's anything that I can do. Apart from some words of re-assurance I'd like to check for a few other things while I'm there; virus scan / spyware scan for example. However, on the spam issue all I know about is Linux and Spamassassin so I need to do some homeowork on what tools are available for the Microsoft platform. Could anyone provide me with any pointers or sites that might get me started? The only utility I've heard of is mailwasher and that seems to get mixed reviews. It's not my intention to start a long OT MS anti-spam thread; I'm really just looking for sites to start researching. Thanks, Dougie
